4, 10, 18, 19, 22, and 33, for all of your Spirit Avatars! >:3c
4. Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
Anton runs from his problems, more often than not, and things slide off his back the easiest -- the whole situation involving Jormag and the corrupted Spirits in Bjora and Drizzlewood, however, did rattle him a little bit.
Verthandi has had a relatively cushy life, so no. Much like everyone else, though, Jormag unsettled her greatly, and she absolutely hates stepping foot in Bjora now.
Magni lost one of his bear companions and her cubs to Svanir traps years ago and it still weighs on him a bit -- by the time that he’d been able to find the trio, it was too far past the point of helping or healing them, so he had to put them down himself. If there are any people in the world that Magni holds a grudge over, it’s the Sons of Svanir.
Kai actually had to kill his own father when he was a pre-teen (somewhere in the 10-13 range) -- absolutely no one except for himself and his mother know about this incident. His father had fallen to the sway of the Sons of Svanir, having gained “friends” through drinks at the local tavern, and had come home one night half-drunk and raging about his “worthless” pup of a son and how his wife was “always trying to undermine” his good faith and love for his family. He, of course, made the mistake of trying to assault Kai’s mother, which caused Kai to leap to her defense. It haunts him still, and it’s why Kai very much dotes on his mother as much as possible. He refuses to stumble down the same path his father did.
Sif, Tyr, and Vidar all had to watch helplessly, stuck in a limbo between the physical world and Mists, as their patron Spirits (Eagle, Ox, and Whale, respectively) got twisted and corrupted by Jormag over many, many years. It drained the Spirits of their power and energy, and even with Jormag defeated, they’re still recovering -- all the Spirits, their Avatars, and the Commanders, know about what happened, but anyone outside of that circle (except maybe like, the havrouns?) have no idea.
10. Does your character feel more comfortable with more clothing, or with less clothing?
Anton is usually seen with scant amounts of clothing on -- he hates feeling restricted, and clothes get in the way of movement (and also he just likes showing his body off)
Vidar can go either way, honestly -- it wholly depends on the environment he’s in (i.e: will he need to willingly swim? is it humid enough to want to die? etc.)
Verthandi is much like Anton, except she doesn’t care about showing her body off -- clothes just get in the way, and she only really wears “fancy” things whenever she’s around Hoelbrak
Sif tends to wear less, but that’s solely because she hates the feeling of clothing restricting her movements in any manner.
Magni wears the most Dad Clothes in existence (i.e: anything that shows off his arms, and shorts) so he’s like... middling?
Kai likes to wear hefty armor only if he’s in areas that could possibly be dangerous -- otherwise, he prefers to wear non-restrictive clothing (if he’s in his norn form at all, he greatly prefers his “Become The Wolf” or his full wolf form over anything else).
Tyr prefers to wear armor whenever possible -- she feels vulnerable without it (and it makes it easier to bodyslam bitches on the fly).
18. Is your character more likely to admire wisdom, or ambition in others?
Anton, Sif, and Tyr admire ambition.
Vidar and Verthandi admires wisdom above all.
Kai and Magni admire both.
19. What is your character’s biggest relationship flaw? Has this flaw destroyed relationships for them before?
Anton is very..... flighty. He doesn’t like to commit to things, let alone other people, and usually finds that having flings, one-night-stands, and touch-and-go friendships means he’s free to do whatever the hell he wants with his life (his Spirit notwithstanding, though Mink doesn’t seem to mind very much).
Vidar, Kai, and Magni are probably the most stable out of all my Spirit Avatars lmao very easy to get along with, and amicable to everyone they meet (usually).
Verthandi is pretty much nonexistent except to the Spirits, the other Avatars, and the havrouns. Trying to find this woman is practically impossible unless you know where and when to look, and she prefers it that way. Being any level of sociable with more than 5 people at once gives her a headache.
Sif is amicable to get along with, though she has a bit of a prideful streak which can definitely cause her to butt heads with people sometimes.
Tyr tends to be...... extremely stubborn. It is possible to knock her down a couple notches if you’re the right person, but she has to respect you first.
22. What does your character like in other people?
Anton enjoys anyone who can take a joke or prank -- he is, above all, a trickster, and being around anyone who gets all moody about his antics isn’t very fun.
Vidar enjoys those he can tell stories to, or that have interest in old tales and wisdoms -- he takes the preservation of tales, legends, and folk songs very seriously, and being able to share them to others who will retell them makes him happy.
Sif can and will leave you in the dust if you don’t keep up with her, so someone who either doesn’t mind that, or can keep pace is someone that she can consider worthy of her time.
Magni can appreciate anyone whose up for drinking contests and just general tomfoolery. He’s very rough-n-tumble, and those who can keep up with that are good in his book.
Kai tends to like everyone -- he’s personable and excitable, and loves going on new adventures and seeing new sights with others!
Tyr and Verthandi are the least social out of my Avatars, but they definitely appreciate those who give them space and understand that their duty as Spirit Avatars come before really.... anything else. They’re here because they need to be, and much of everything else tends to be a distraction to them. (I swear it’s possible to be friends with them, they just have a very. particular. sense of what “friends” are.)
33. In the face of criticism, is your character defensive, self-deprecating, or willing to improve?
Anton is very defensive, depending on your tone (which will also dictate how he handles it; the calmer you are, the more likely he won’t brush it off, but yelling at him is a prime way of making him ignore you).
Vidar takes it in stride, betters himself if he does feel like he’s accidentally wronged others, and generally recollects on it and makes a level-headed decision -- out of all my Spirit Avatars, he handles criticism the best.
Verthandi tends to be rather defensive, but with enough evidence to back the criticism up, she’ll concede. (if you try to come at her with criticism without evidence, however, she’ll bite you. not literally well, maybe but it’ll definitely hurt).
Sif handles criticism like any good norn would: you wanna call her out? then you’ll have to beat her in a fair fight about it (and unlike tyr, it’s in a friendly manner, of course -- what’s some traded blows between comrades if it means you don’t remember what the brawl started about?)
Magni -- much like Vidar -- handles criticism pretty well, though Magni’s way of dealing with it tends to be sharing many, many rounds in whatever tavern is nearby with whoever brought the criticism up, as a manner of smoothing things over with the person(s) involved.
Kai feels horrible when criticized, and (depending on who you are) he’ll bend over backwards to make things right with those who feel wronged, while making sure it never happens again.
Tyr would much rather suplex you than deal with being called out or criticized, even if whatever the issue is was her fault -- she handles criticism the worst, out of everyone.

Uh I’m stuck at a wedding with boring music I can’t dance to so I’m impulsively deciding to drop my Magni and Modi redesigns for my au so I can just get it done with bc 1.I’m shy and embarrassed and I keep putting it off, and 2.uh fuck you💕
OOOOOOOOOO SPOOKY REDESIGNSSSS
(Things will be a bit vague and out of context bc… spoilers for my fic lmao)
Considering the fact that the Thor family is now in Midgard In Fimbulwinter, these bitches did not get the spell they’d need to “stay toasty” in the cold, so… they’re just freezing lol. Magni and Modi’s weapons were also revoked after being considered total failures in the eyes of Odin, and now they just use weapons they stole from the armory before escaping Midgard. Another note, they now have different fighting styles in case it wasn’t obvious. I decided to take inspiration from the Warlord and Raider from For Honor bc… they’re cool, and also bc my brother is a nerd and he’s helping me “choreograph” some fight scenes lmao.
Uh on elaboration on Modi, uhh after fully recovering from death, let’s just say he doubles down on his pathetic ass and in the process, morphs into a form of his father. Also his haircut was smthn forced by Thrud, he didn’t want it but was quick to give up fighting lmao. Oh yeah I also wanted to make him look more like his part: loser who hides in his blanky/j
On Magni, obvsly, no differences are drastic or whatever, but one thing I will say is that Magni now has a scar of the wound he died of. Same applies to Modi. Also also, just pretend I drew his face tats, I I literally hate drawing them I’m barely bothering at all anymore 😭. Uhhh other thing, Magni fucking hates shirts. He just hates shirts. He refuses to put them on LMAO. That’s why he just wears a pelt around his waist. Yes, he is cold he just never wants to admit it OSJDKSJ. Smol edit: I FORGOR TO ADD HIS HAND WRAPS IN THE DRAWING EKDJJD he wears hand wraps idk if that’s what they’re called I’m just gonna hope u know what I’m talking abt, you’ll see them in future drawings LMAO
Ok and uh sketch dump now except they’re all pr old, and I was still practicing drawing these ugly mfs. (I still am but I’m a bit more confident in it now)
1 and 2 will stay out of context bc I think it’s funny
3: young Magni
4 and 5 are just…. Yeah.
(Also Magni was originally gonna have some more scars from Kratos’ axe, but I just simplified it to just one on his face.)

OC Introduction - Magni Thorson (faceclaim William Moseley)
Born 481 years ago and the eldest son of Thor and Járnsaxa, Magni is (despite his bastard status) his father's heir unless Thor marries and sires a legitimate son, and as such he, along with his siblings, have been raised accordingly, growing up in the court of Asgard, Magni in particular being taught how to govern and navigate the politics of the Nine Realms - partly because Odin and Frigga privately despaired that Thor might never marry and wanted to have a plan in place for this.
Magni is well aware of this fact, but nonetheless has always taken his duties and responsibilities seriously. Yet this has not been easy, because a great number of people do not believe he should ever inherit the throne, and this sentiment grew once he discovered he had a great aptitude for magic, and decided to not just pursue this but to specifically train in healing magic, reasoning that any ruler should know how to protect their people in every way, and if he could heal his own wounds then any on-field battle healers would be free to help others.
With support for him diminishing and his relationship with his father become increasingly strained, Frigga made the decision to send him to Alfheim, where he has remained for the last seventy-four years, the only regular visitors from Asgard being his brother, sister, cousin, and uncle - Thor never made much effort to see him, and despite his best efforts Magni ends up resenting him for this. Being summoned home for the coronation is the last thing he wants - even the prospect of being formally named as the new Crown Prince of Asgard holds little joy for him, after realising that actually, the idea of going through all that only to be ousted from his position later on is deeply hurtful, especially when it's clear none of this means anything to his father.
Magni, though, knows his duty and attends the ceremony, only for Frost Giants to interrupt- then Thor is banished after starting a war with Jotunheim, and not long afterwards his grandfather falls into the Odinsleep, and then the realm is faced with a dilemma. For technically the throne is now Magni's, yet without being formally proclaimed as Crown Prince he knows perfectly well no one will support him.
And although it should be a relief when Loki is named King instead, Magni can't help but feel like there's something up with the whole situation they're in - and it's up to him, his siblings, and his cousin to try and find out the truth.
